Minutes of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. 
formerly so called and known as False Angustura is most 
probably the product of the Strychnos nux vomica. 
No. 2. Balsamum Tacamahaca. This name has been given 
to several resinous substances, principally afforded by the 
genus Amyris or Icica of S. A. The specimen sent is the 
only variety found in our commerce. I am of opinion that it 
does not differ from the Cayenne incense, which is the pro- 
duct of the Icica gauyanensis or heptaphylla, Aublet. 
No. 3. Canella Alba. 
No. 4. I cannot procure the bark of the cinchona ovali- 
folia, Mutis. No specimen of it exists here, except in the 
cabinet of natural history. 
No. 5. Cinchona lancifolia, Mutis. I send the fibrous Car- 
thagena bark which in all probability is the product of this 
species. 
No. 6. True Winter Bark. Drymis Winteri. 
No. 7. The confusion which has existed on the subject of 
the White Ipecacuanhas, has induced me to transmit speci- 
mens of both the lonidium Ipecacuanha and the Richardsonia 
Brasiliensis. 
No. 8. Seeds of the Jatrapha Curcas. This article is 
scarce and only to be found in a few collections. Those sent 
are derived from that of Paris School of Pharmacy. 
No. 9. Bark of the Laurus Culilawan. 
No. 10. Gum resin of the Pastinaca opoponax. 
No. 11. Root of the Carex arenaria. 
No. 12. Seeds of the Strychnos ignatia. 
The thanks of the College were ordered to be presented to 
Mr. Durand for this valuable addition to their cabinet.
